Hello,
I may be biased. Ok, I AM biased, but I’m kind of surprised how much you overlook Mercy High School. A landlocked, east Omaha small girls school that is currently 10-1 and ranked 6th in your rankings. Their schedule hasn’t been as tough as other years, yes, but they aren’t barely beating anyone either. They have some good scorers, Melina Nelson, Audrey Bush, and Olivia Ohlman. Melina Nelson has 19 goals, Audrey Bush has 12 and Olivia Ohlman, their midfielder has 9 goals which is pretty good for a midfielder I’ve heard. So considering the geographical and size challenges they have (they aren’t flashy and they aren’t Duchesne), I’d say they are a pretty good team that you all continue to ignore and overlook. Like I said, I’m biased, but wanted to add my two cents. Thanks!
